Uncanny ability to recall obscure facts according to most people I know irl

My geography teacher used to play a game with me in HS where he'd name a country (incl. obscure ones in Africa & the Caribbean) and I'd name the capital, pop, land mass, world leader and system of government by memory, everyone used to look at me as though I had superpowers.


Hey blondie! I got news for yah! You must be a superhero then because that talent is over the top!
Used to be singing but I gave it up a few years ago.
I am talented at being untalented lol.
Of those fit to air publicly: art; music-production; theatre; prose; verse; graphic design; retouching; compositing; copywriting/editing; and I can recite Sonnet 116 in 16 seconds, as well as having a generally first-rate aptitude for active (albeit slow) memorisation—essays, scripts, Photoshop keyboard-shortcuts, entire GCSE History exercise-books, et cetera. Also, comedy (though I never had the nerve for stand-up, so you'll just have to take my word for it).

Still, if it's any consolation, I've no doubt that ninety-percent of you will go on to earn considerably more than I do: being 'talented' simply affords my deceptively introverted temperament a plethora of ways in which to keep itself occupied, the better to stave off early-onset ennui.

Comedy is the best!

I have a highly developed sense of rhythm and timing which is handy for all the music I do.


I'd be intrigued to know how you fare on this.

Me too! I like to draw pictures. Another talent of mine seems to be writing. Like to write poems, short stories and dramas.

Noice. I'll give it another go when I'm not halfway out the door to a gig :laugh:
I can recite, word for word, this introductory monologue from the film V for Vendetta entirely from memory:





Naturally, this leads me to infer that I have a well-developed sense of memory.


I also have incredible balance.
